8 Reasons Dental Implants are Important
Dental implants have become one of the most popular dental procedures for replacing missing teeth and restoring damaged smiles.
Their natural appearance, improved strength and increased tooth stability make dental implants an excellent tooth replacement option and one that more and more patients are opting for.
Let's look in more detail at the top reasons why dental implants are important.
Improves quality of life
It's a big (and slightly general) statement, but it's absolutely true. Dental implants will help improve the overall quality of your life!
When suffering from tooth loss, there is a range of issues that can arise, both physically and mentally. Your oral health will decline, you could struggle to eat properly, you may be in constant pain and discomfort and you will more than likely feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile.
A simple and safe dental implant procedure can flip all of these things on their head, removing any pain and discomfort whilst simultaneously giving you the smile you always dreamed of.
It really is no exaggeration to say that implant dentistry helps improve patients' quality of life.
Eat, talk and laugh with confidence
With restored dental implants patients no longer have to worry about how they look when eating, talking or laughing.
No one wants to feel self-conscious when out for a meal in public, and you shouldn't have to worry about pain or discomfort when choosing what to order from a restaurant either. With the strong foundation and tooth stability that dental implants offer, you can eat with confidence once again.
Similarly, no one should need to worry about their teeth when laughing and talking with friends or family.
Smile, laugh and talk with confidence in any setting after you have your missing tooth or teeth replaced by quality dental implants from Dee Dental.
Completely safe
Another one of the many advantages of dental implants is the completely safe surgery. In fact, the success rate of dental implant surgery is estimated at around 98%.
So, although dental implant surgery is significant as it involves drilling into the gum and jaw bone, the procedure is incredibly safe and routine for professional dentists.
There is very little that can go wrong with the procedure other than damage to the jaw bone. This only occurs if the patient's jaw bone is particularly weak or brittle. In these rare instances, our dentists will choose not to perform implant surgery. We will always do a full assessment of the mouth and jawbone before any work is carried out.
The surgery is done in two parts; the first being the most significant. This is where the titanium screw will be fitted and fixed into the mouth. This can also involve the removal of any damaged tooth or lasting tooth roots. After the screw has been fitted to the mouth it beings to fuse directly with the jaw bone, acting as an artificial root on which the replacement tooth will be fitted.
Before the second procedure, your mouth will need around 2-3 months to fully recover from the initial surgery. After your mouth is fully healed and the implant has properly fused with the bone, the second part of the surgery will take place.
This part is far simpler and involves minimal invasion. Your replacement tooth cap will be securely fitted to the titanium implant, giving the crown a strong foundation on which to sit.
Together, the implant and the crown create a comfortable and durable replacement tooth which will seamlessly blend with your natural teeth.

Prevents bone loss
Our jawbones and facial structure are very quick to adapt when significant trauma happens. Although this can be positive when you undergo a procedure, it can also be damaging when a tooth is lost or missing.
This means that losing one or more teeth can significantly impact the shape and strength of your jawbone, causing bone damage and altering the structure of your face. Individuals who suffer from missing teeth for long periods of time without treatment can experience severe bone loss in their jaw and face.
By having implants placed into the vacant missing teeth areas, this problem of bone loss will be cured as it gives the surrounding bone something to attach to, which in turn helps promote bone growth.
Over time, the implant will fuse with the bone, enhancing the strength, structure and shape of both your jawbone and your face, helping to prevent future bone loss.
It is well documented that dental patients that opt for dental implants notice a rejuvenated jaw bone and facial structure. This is just another one of the many amazing benefits of dental implants.
Improves oral health
Although many will think of implants as a purely aesthetic enhancement, replacing missing teeth also has wonderful effects on your oral health.
When you have a missing tooth, the remaining teeth around the gap can begin to shift, impacting your full mouth and arch. The gap can also be a source of poor hygiene as it can be hard to properly clean and care for. This has subsequent negative effects on the surrounding teeth and your overall oral health.
When left untreated, gaps where teeth once were can lead to gum disease, periodontal disease and other health issues which may cause further tooth loss. It's imperative that you receive adequate care and treatment for missing teeth before any of these issues can occur.
By choosing implants to replace missing teeth, you will simultaneously improve your long term oral health, ensure your teeth do not shift or become misaligned and protect yourself against unwanted mouth diseases.
Of course, the implant will also provide you with a beautiful new smile, but what is a shiny smile without good oral health beneath it? This improved oral and dental health is one of the main advantages of dental implants.
Easy to maintain and care for
Another point that makes dental implants one of the best tooth replacement options on the market today is how easy they are to care for. Due to the strong artificial root and securely fitted cap, you can treat your implant just as you would your natural teeth.
Clean, floss and rinse without fear of causing damage or shifting position. As long as you apply the proper care that all normal teeth need, your implant will stay healthy, clean and functional.
In addition, we recommend visiting your dentist for regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments. This is advice we give to all patients, but it is particularly important when you have undergone significant dental work.
Visiting your dental clinic once every six months will ensure your implants are working as they should be and your oral health is in good shape.

Long-lasting & durable
Dental Implants have an amazing ability to perform like a natural tooth, providing a strength unmatched by other restorations.
This makes them extremely durable and long-lasting. In fact, the titanium implant part of the tooth, which firmly embeds into the jawbone, may last up to a lifetime if properly cared for.
The replacement crown or tooth cap can be damaged more easily through wear and tear, but fear not as this is a very quick and simple fix. However, even this part of the implant should last for up to ten years, and often for longer when treated with care.
Not only does this make dental implants a cost-effective option, but it also highlights their superiority over more traditional removable replacement teeth options, such as removable dentures, that have to constantly be updated and re-worked despite not providing the genuine, around the clock smile that dental implants give.
Aesthetically pleasing: Implants improve the look of your smile
In addition to all the many advantages discussed in this article, we've yet to come to the number one reason most people choose dental implants; improving the look of your smile!
Everyone wants a sparkling smile but unfortunately, any number of issues can happen that damage the look of your pearly whites and shatter your confidence.
Whether it's from severe dental trauma, tooth decay, infection, or simply poor oral health, it's certainly not uncommon to have one or several missing teeth. This can have determinantal effects on how you view yourself, how often you smile and how happy you feel. Smiling is closely associated with happiness, and individuals who may feel too self conscious to smile can experience a sharp decline in their mental health.
Luckily, dental implants provide a sure-fire way of giving you new teeth, a bright new smile and improving your self-confidence along the way.
Smile freely again with quality dental implants from Dee Dental.

Amazing, friendly, professional dental surgery. Dee and the team are very client orientated and always add those little extra touches that you don't get anywhere else, i.e calling ahead of my appointmet to ask if I would like tea, coffee or water when i arrive.....It is such a tiny wee thing however i love these friendly calls, usually from Katie, it always brightens my day and adds a personal touch whilst reminding me I have an upcoming appointment! I have always had a terrible fear of the dentists which seems to have almost disappeared since attending Dee Dental for Invisalign, my invisalign journey is almost over after approx 60 weeks, my treatment was surprisingly painless, after reading horror stories online from other dental practices, my experince has been fabulous, i hardly noticed i had braces and now my teeth are looking amazing! Having spent my whole life using NHS dentists , my experience with Dee Dental has been completely fabulous and second to none, once my Invisalign treatment is complete I will continue to visit Dee for all future dental needs by signing up to the very reasonable monthly dental plan. You can't put a price on highly trained professionals, friendliness, first class service, patience with an apprehensive client, state of the art equipment, trust and those little extra touches that brighten my day....Thanks guys you're the best!
Dee and the whole team are amazing, everyone is lovely and really attentive and very professional… when I first walked in I was really nervous, but in mins all my nerves were laid to rest, I’m so glad I came here to Dee Dental to start that journey.
Dr Dee and the team made the whole process of getting Invisalign straightforward and put me at ease throughout the process. Can't recommend them highly enough!
Thank you to Dee and all the staff had an excellent experience at this practice for the first time. Cant recommend this practice enough. Will definitely be back. Thanks Dee
Brilliant dental service with very accommodating staff as I have a slight fear of the dentist. Were quick to book me in and sorted out my dental issues with no problems.
Best dentist! I wanted to get invisalign for quite a while and Dee dental were amazing in giving all the information and were fantastic throughout the whole process, they accomodated me greatly by being flexible while I was working away for long periods and provided a great service the whole time. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend Dee Dentist Paisley.
Great dentist and I’m a big scardy cat.. make you feel at ease and always ask if I’m ok throughout the treatment.. highly recommend
Like many, I regard visiting the Dentist to be an experience I could do without.
But it is, of course, a necessary evil.
I was fortunate enough to have the same Dentist from when I was 18 right up until his retiral.His name was Mr Harris and he was always able to put me at my ease.
His replacement was, it`s fair to say, not so good.
So I signed up with my closest Dental Surgery, where I was fortunate enough to have been treated by two wonderful Dentists, the second of which was Dinah Judy Naasan.
When she left to set up her own practice as Dee Dental, things were just not the same at the practice she had left behind, and after a while, it seems they forgot me entirely.
Therefore, despite her practice being a fair bit further away, I re-registered with Dinah.
And, it`s fair to say, it`s been a great decision and worth the extra mileage.
She is a fantastic Dentist and always puts me at ease and has done the work her previous practice neglected to do.
Her Dee Dental staff all seem like lovely people too and I find I can enjoy my visits there as much as it is possible to `enjoy` such an ordeal.
So, my verdict is a solid 10/10.
I f Dinah reads this, I`m hoping for at least 25% off my next visit!!
: )
Really lovely dental practice. Did everything possible to fit me in for an emergency appointment today. Receptionist Lindsey and Dr Naasan are excellent. Glad I’ve found a dentist that I actually don’t mind visiting!
I had wanted fillers in my nose for a long time to fix the bump I had- (non surgical nose job)- and I am so happy I had Dinah do it and I love the results! She is professional and easy to chat to which made me feel at ease. There was no bruising after the treatment and the results were instant. You can tell she has been doing injectables for a long time as it wasn't uncomfortable when she was doing the fillers- will 100% be coming back to Dinah to get this done again in the future!!
I have been going to Dinah now for almost two years for both anti-wrinkle injections and Fillers . The results have been amazing and she has helped me achieve the natural results I was looking for , with the procedures being quick and pretty painless. I would highly recommend her services and her aftercare is first class also.
I can’t say enough good things about Dinah and would recommend her to anyone!
I wanted to straighten my two upper front teeth especially and, after consulting with Dr Dinah Naasan, I decided to go with a see through retainer clear align. I had my appointments every two weeks, no delays, everything went according to plan. I am very happy with the results and with the treatment overall. You can see the difference straight away and that’s what I wanted. I would definitely recommend this option for anyone who doesn’t want their retainer to be visible and want fast and effective results.
Excellent service, Dee puts you at ease and let's you know exactly what each procedure she is going to do in the most polite and knowledgeable manner. I would highly recommend.
Would highly recommend this dentist to anyone Dinah is fantastic explains everything to you so you understand what is happening
The staff are all fantastic and Dinah is a miracle worker I won't b changing my dentist ever
I heartily recommend the best dentist. I was very afraid of the dentist, each of my attempts was painful during the treatment. At the dee dental clinic she had root canal treatment today, I didn't feel any pain and the dentist was very friendly. Thank you very much
Dinah was able to explain everything clearly and put me at ease. Really approachable and provided excellent care. Would really recommend this great team and practice!!
Best dee dental Paisley and and I hate going but so nice & friendly thanks for everything

Clean, smart and professional. Very happy to have found a dentist which was easy to register with via website. I had a check up appointment made within two days of my registration. She makes you feel at ease and let’s you know exactly what’s happening. Amazing and my teeth look great. Highly recommended !!!
Amazing modern practice that is completely different to our previous dentist. They provide some brilliant services including anti-wrinkle injections and fillers. Would recommend Dinah and her team to anyone!
Dinah is very professional and put me at ease. The practice is clean and modern and being able to book online is a plus
clean, modern and comfortable waiting area. Dinah and staff are very friendly and welcoming also.
I have been seeing Dinah for 3 years and she is always friendly, efficient and gentle! Would recommend her to everyone and the practice looks great.

My first anti-wrinkle experience was quick and painless and the results are amazing. All thanks go to Dinah for her brilliant job! I would highly recommend her services.
Love my lip fillers from dinah and the before and aftercare was brilliant will definitely be back again for more
Love getting my anti-wrinkle injections by Dinah..I always feel great after having it done.. Would highly recommend
I noticed circa 1 year ago that my face is asymmetrical and called upon Dinahs expertise. She recommended anti-wrinkle injections and what can I say I’m delighted with the results. The service she offers is first class she’s friendly very approachable and I highly recommend that you look no further than Dinah for advice and any work you wish to have carried out.
This has to be one of the most caring, professional dentists in the local area. I would say just Paisley but Dr Dinah and her team are amazing, if you are looking for your smile to be improved or for NHS work with fillings etc then I love this place and the team are amazing.
So happy with the work that got done today - never felt any pain with the jag and taking the tooth out- great job 100% spot on!
felt comfortable and at ease- great service!
Dee Dental Paisley has been the best and most professional and must I say caring dentists there is not just in the town but the local area. When I had problems Dinah the owner called me a Friday night at near 10pm
She has bent over backwards to help. Whatever dentists would do that? Yes none.
Dee Dentists Paisley get Registered and start getting the smile you want.
Can't recommend enough!! Dinah and Elaine are absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable and professional, and so friendly and approachable at the same time. The practice itself is lovely, modern, and spotless, and you can complete all the forms online which is easy and convenient.

Fantastic experience on my first visit to Dee Dental. Dinah carried out a thorough check up, much more in depth than any other dentist I've been to. I'd requested a scale and polish which was carried out, and Dinah was so lovely and reassuring while carrying out the treatment. Surgery was absolutely spotless too. Thanks Dinah and Team
Really great treatment total transformation, 2 implants with minimal intrusion, a complete oral refurbishment, composite bonding and zirconium crowns. Dinah is an absolute professional, highly recommended
Beautiful practice staff great but DINAH is amazing ❤ various dental work done in the past few weeks and I felt totally relaxed and so comfortable, also aesthetics done fabulous results and teeth whitening and what a difference in just two weeks , would highly recommend dee dental best i have been to.
Dinah is Amazing, very professional and full of knowledge I would highly recommend Dee Dental Paisley
Really professional couldn’t ask for a better local dentist!
Had a delightful time at Dee Dental today, the place was stunning, the staff were lovely and the dentist Dinah was amazing - kept me well informed, very knowledgable and super skilled better than any dentist I’ve had so far. Thank you and I’ll definitely come back
She always makes an amazing job and is very friendly
First time at Dee Dental and it was really good. Thorough examination of teeth. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Always fantastic service when visiting Dee Dental Paisley. The improvements made to the surgery have been incredible, both in technology and decor. Always more than happy with the advice, treatment provided and overall experience. Highly recommend.
Relieved to find this Dental Practice. Last week I had a tooth abscess, tooth required extraction. All the staff were exceptionally pleasant, professional and kind. Dinah made the experience completely comfortable for me, put me at ease, very reassuring and has great skill. Thank you very much.
I have been at this practice since a young girl, I am now a lady of a certain age. Having been there when the previous 2 owners retired it is nice to see some young blood taking over the reins. The practice has had a makeover and is bright, clean and welcoming. The staff are all lovely and happy to help whether it is regarding dental work or cosmetic procedures which they now carry out as well.
I've only ever had positive experiences during my appointments at Dee Dental. The staff are so patient and accommodating I'd absolutely recommend this dentist to anyone looking for a new one. I started my Invisalign treatment at this dentist and I have been happy with all of the results so far.

Very pleased with service. When a new dentist takes over a dental practice there is always trepidation. This trepidation was very short lived as all the staff at the practice are professional and friendly, providing a quality and reassuring service. Also the practice is set up with the appropriate systems in place to provide a safe environment during this unsettling pandemic period. I have no hesitation in continuing to use Dee Dental for my dental health care and would recommend it.
Another fantastic day at the dentist with Dr Naasan.
This is not your normal practice, it is full of love and support and is a beautiful place to be.
Thank you!!!! ❤
A fantastic service from Dinah and her team, I recently broke my crown and was concerned that due to the damage I had done, i may have required an implant, on discussion with Dinah, she proposed a plan that would potentially save the tooth and avoid the implant route, The treatment was done over 3 visits and I am delighted with the outcome. This dental practise cares about their patients and will always try to accommodate their needs. I highly recommend Dee Dental and thank them.
The environment directly put you to ease and the staff is exceptional. Dr. Naasan took her time with me and didn't rush, really gentle and explained all she was doing.
I highly recommended!!!
Very friendly, informative and helpful. Never had a better quality of care until now. Really happy with all the work that has been done to improve my smile.
I've always had a lot of anxiety when going to the dentist, Dinah as well as the rest of the team were extraordinary. Finally, I have found a calm and comprehensive dentist with lots of sympathy.
I have already had a few appointment with Dinah. She is professional, calm and take her time with patient.
The place is moderne and pleasant, a warm welcome at reception, advice and professional care of the highest quality. The appointment are taken rapidly.
I highly recommended Dee Dental Paisley Glasgow for your dental care.
Excellent dentist and very accommodating. We moved to Argyll not long after the practice changed hands and thought about moving to another dentist closeby. After having my first dental treatment from Dinah there was absolutely no way that I was moving to another dentist. It was pain free and everyone who works in the practice is very nice and friendly. I have been attending this practice for over 40 years and still intend to do so for many more years to come.
The staff are really kind and I always feel comfortable with the doctor. I had a very bad toothache and they arranged an urgent appointment for me and felt much better after.
Thanks Dee Dental! The staff are really kind and I always feel comfortable with the doctor. I had a very bad toothache and they arranged an urgent appointment for me and felt much better after.
Thanks Dee Dental!
Highly recommended! Very nice staff, Dr. Dinah is amazing! Thanks so much Dee Dental!
Dinah makes me feel at ease while in the scary dental chair. She talks me through the procedure. Surgery is spotless.
Excellent communication, clear advice and pricing. Lovely staff. Happy to recommend.
Dee Dentist is very friendly and make you feel relaxed would recommend it to anyone who might have a fear on going to the dentist
Lost my front tooth filling during lockdown and went to Dee Dental 15/6/2021. I can honestly say it is the best my tooth has looked over many years of replacing the filling. It is not even noticeable that there is a filling there. Thank you Dinah and staff for giving me my confidence back.
They're very time efficient at this practice also which has taken some getting used to but I love it. If ur nervous there's no waiting about or laying in the chair for ages while they figure out what they're supposed to be doing! Probably because they basically work 24/7 as someone answers the emergency line at all hours within minutes, so it's like military precision. Never had such good service.
I'm stingey as hell so it was a big deal for me to invest in the invisalign but they're worth every penny! Would not go anywhere else, it would be a waste of money.
I have just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dinah and the team at Dee Dental and I could not recommend then highly enough! Fantastic service from day 1 back in January right up to the end of my brace treatment. Even with such a busy practice every visit was personable, and messages/emails always replied to on the same day. I am over the moon with my results and plan to be back in December for further treatment to my crowns and for some bonding (unable to do these at the moment due to being pregnant). I can't wait to be back at the end of the year to finish off the process. If you are looking for professional work/advice on Invisalign treatments and more Dinah is your gal!
It's wonderful to having my teeth done at home when i got out of hospital and i haven't had any bother at all she is a wonderfull dentist i am a happy
Really great treatment total transformation, 2 implants with minimal intrusion, a complete oral refurbishment, composite bonding and zirconium crowns. Dinah is an absolute professional, highly recommended.
Dee is an absolutely wonderful dentist, patient, kind and so caring as are all her staff. Highly recommend this practice, especially if you are a nervous patient, as I was, honestly, you won't find anyone kinder. I am totally thrilled with my smile and the professional treatment I experienced. Thank you Dee Dental.
Lost my front tooth filling during lockdown and went to Dee Dental today 15/6/2021. I can honestly say it is the best my tooth has looked over many years of replacing the filling. It is not even noticeable that there is a filling there. Thank you Dinah and staff for giving me my confidence back. Back for a check up December 2021. Again the most thorough check up I’ve ever experienced at 75 yrs of age. Friendly, efficient and approachable. I’ll be back.
This was our first time to use a private dentist which was great! All Staff were very nice and helpful!
My experience so far has been a very positive one. The team are always very happy and bubbly. I always had a fear of the dentists but I have zero anxiety going into my appointments at dee dental, I always feel at ease. Before my first appointment I was asked if I would like a tea/coffee on arrival which I thought was a lovely touch. I have recommended dee dental to everyone I know! Thanks dee and the team x
If anyone is nervous about getting fillers don’t be!! Dr Dinah Naasan is professional, caring and takes everything you say into consideration, including your fears and expectations. The entire process was completely painless. For someone who has a low pain threshold I never felt a thing! The results were instantaneous and with no bruising whatsoever. I was so self conscious about my lips before and now I couldn’t imagine my life without fillers. It has given me so much confidence.
Dinah gave me some lip fillers which look great! Very happy with them. Would really recommend Dinah as someone to go with. Made me feel super comfortable about trying this for the first time. Her style is very natural and works with what you have rather than to achieve something unrealistic! I’m very happy and grateful and can’t praise her and the teams work enough!
